Do you remember the days when you could expect consistently objective news media? Well, neither do we. In a world where political affiliation cloaks itself behind such harmless descriptors as News Corp, the least that we can expect is that the source disclaims their bias before they begin to lay-out the “facts”. The Filter.ca, Canada’s Alternative News and Opinion Filter, aggregates news into a beautifully concise summary. While the content tends to be drawn from a consistent world view, the collection itself links to a wonderful mix of civil-society, local, national, and international sources.

The Filter.ca also includes a Features section with original content licensed under an Attibution-Noncommercial-Sharealike 2.0 Canada licence. Unlike the major media protectorates, these editors and authors want you to spread the word. It’s more than just news… its a message.
